Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Elden Ring’s core repeatable progression loop is to gather runes for levels and purchases, then upgrade weapons with Smithing or Somber Smithing Stones. Miner’s Bell Bearings let the Twin Maiden Husks sell more stone tiers. Great Runes add a temporary build boost when restored, equipped, and activated with Rune Arcs.
